Machining with Five Axes – The iTNC 530 Permits Optimum Tool Movement Modern machines often work with four or fi ve positioning axes. This makes it possible to machine complex 3-D contours. The required programs are usually created on external CAM systems and comprise a large number of very short line segments that are transferred to the control. Whether the workpiece is actually machined according the program’s instructions depends essentially on the geometric behavior of the control. With its optimized path control, its precalculation of the contour and its algorithms for jerk limitation, the iTNC 530 has the right functions for a perfect surface in the shortest possible machining time. See for yourself. In the end, it’s the quality of the workpiece that proves the performance of the control. 10 3-D contour machining at its fi nest The iTNC 530’s short block processing time of only 0.5 ms for a 3-D line segment without tool compensation permits high traversing speeds even on complex contours. This enables you, for example, to mill molds or dies approximated with 0.2 mm line segments at feed rates as high as 24 meters per minute. The particularly jerk-free path control when machining 3-D fi gures and the defi ned rounding of series of straight-line segments provide you with smoother surfaces as well as high dimensional accuracy. The iTNC 530 thinks ahead. Its “lookahead” function anticipates future changes in direction by adjusting the traversing speed to the programmed surface. If desired, it also enables the iTNC 530 to reduce the feed rate when plunging the tool into the workpiece. This lets you simply program the maximum machining speed as the feed rate. The iTNC 530 automatically adapts the actual speed of the workpiece contour to save you machining time. For NC programs with normal vectors, such as those generated by CAM systems, the iTNC 530 automatically calculates a 3-D tool compensation for end mills, ball-nose cutters, or toroid cutters.
– Compensating Form Errors of Tools with 3D-ToolComp (Option) 3D-ToolComp is a new and powerful option for three-dimensional tool radius compensation. A compensation-value table is used to defi ne angle-dependent delta values that describe the tool deviation from the ideal circular shape (see fi gure). The iTNC then corrects the radius value defi ned for the tool’s current point of contact with the workpiece. In order to determine the point of contact exactly, the NC program must be have been created with surface-normal blocks (LN blocks) by a CAM system. The surface-normal blocks specify the theoretical center point of the radius cutter, and in some cases also the tool orientation relative to the workpiece surface. Ideally, the compensation-value table is generated fully automatically by way of a special cycle that uses a laser system to measure the form of the tool so that the iTNC can use this table directly. If the form deviations of the tool used are available as a calibration chart from the tool manufacturer, then you can create the compensation-value table manually. Z DR2–0.004 DR2+0.002 X 11
